“Agent Of A Foreign Power”: In Historic First, DOJ Releases Carter Page FISA Application<\/h2>\n
ZeroHedge.com<\/p>\n
The Department of Justice late Friday released\u00a0via the FBI’s FOIA Vault\u00a0<\/a>a redacted copy of the Carter Page FISA warrant application and several renewals, which\u00a0accuse Page of being a Russian spy<\/strong>, as summarized by the\u00a0New York Times<\/a><\/em>\u00a0– which obtained a copy of the materials through a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit.<\/p>\n Of note, in\u00a0the\u00a0nearly two years since the application was filed, Page\u00a0hasn’t been charged with any of the allegations contained within\u00a0it.<\/p>\n The\u00a0previously top-secret document is\u00a0the first such release\u00a0by the DOJ in the 40 years since the surveillance law was enacted.\u00a0<\/strong>In April, the DOJ said they were “processing for potential redaction and release certain [Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act] materials related to Carter Page,\u201d after watchdog group\u00a0Judicial Watch<\/em>\u00a0and several other organizations filed similar lawsuits.<\/p>\n The application reads in part:<\/p>\n Identity of the target<\/strong><\/u>\u00a0The target of this application is Carter W. Page, a U.S. person,\u00a0and\u00a0an agent of a foreign power<\/u>, described in detail below<\/strong>.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n “The F.B.I. believes Page has been the subject of targeted recruitment by the Russian government,<\/strong>\u201d\u00a0the warrant application continues.<\/p>\n A line was then redacted, and then it picked up with \u201cundermine and influence the outcome of the 2016 U.S. presidential election in violation of U.S. criminal law<\/strong>. Mr. Page is a former foreign policy adviser to a candidate for U.S. president.\u201d\u00a0–NYT<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n The document then concludes that Page was allegedly “collaborating and conspiring with the Russian government<\/strong>,” which they viewed as probably cause to spy on him – and again, which Page has never been charged with.<\/p>\n Page – who has\u00a0repeatedly denied being a Russian spy<\/strong>, said in April that the FISA application was “beyond words,” and a “Joke,” while claiming that he has never served as an agent for a foreign government.\u00a0We would also note that he hasn’t been charged as one<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Page was targeted months earlier by FBI informant Stefan Halper, who formed a relationship with Page and several other Trump aides as part of the Obama administration’s active counterintelligence operation on the Trump campaign.<\/p>\n “Witch Hunt”\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n While President Trump has characterized the entire counterintelligence operation as a “witch hunt,” an increasing chorus of frustrated GOP lawmakers have begun to echo his sentiment, as we are now\u00a0in month\u00a018 of post-inaugural investigation\u00a0by the Department of Justice.<\/p>\n Shortly after the\u00a0Times<\/em>\u00a0article hit, President Trump tweeted that the “Rigged Witch Hunt, headed by the 13 Angry Democrats” (in reference to Mueller’s team), are trying to damage the GOP going into midterms by dragging out their investigation.<\/p>\n The Rigged Witch Hunt, headed by the 13 Angry Democrats (and now 4 more have been added, one who worked directly for Obama W.H.), seems intent on damaging the Republican Party\u2019s chances in the November Election. This Democrat excuse for losing the \u201816 Election never ends!<\/p>\n — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) July 21, 2018<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/a><\/p>\n\n
